<h1>A Game of Thrones... of Eldraine</h1>
<p>Welcome back to <em>Cure for the Common Game</em>, where I'm building a Commander deck for every legendary creature! Today I will be covering the 19 new legends from <em>Throne of Eldraine</em>.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #478 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Syr Faren, the Hengehammer" href="#" target="_blank">Syr Faren, the Hengehammer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>We start off with a two-mana 2/2 who's riding a Bear, but is not a Bear. Time for some good ol' fashioned beats!</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #478 Syr Faren, the Hengehammer" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fpE-GDHVlGw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>

<h2>Deck #479 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Syr Konrad, the Grim" href="#" target="_blank">Syr Konrad, the Grim</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>There are so many fun ways to trigger Konrad, it makes you sad when all your opponents are dead and you have to stop.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #479 Syr Konrad, the Grim" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6wPQKMWzNgA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #480 - Rankle, Master of Pranks</h2>
<p>Three abilities? Does that make this card a 'charm' like all the other three-mode cards out there? <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Naya Charm" href="#" target="_blank">Naya Charm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sultai Charm" href="#" target="_blank">Sultai Charm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, etc? A combat-damage-based charm commander?? Where do I sign up???</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #480 Rankle, Master of Pranks" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tr1uHooqVlA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #481 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grumgully, the Generous" href="#" target="_blank">Grumgully, the Generous</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>Tricksy things with +1/+1 counters in this Gruul deck that is completely devoid of who-mons.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #481 Grumgully, the Generous" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YQUCcpwWz-U?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #482 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gadwick the Wizened" href="#" target="_blank">Gadwick the Wizened</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>I'm glad they made this card, even though they had to tweak some rules to make it work. I've always wanted a Wizard who is also a <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Braingeyser" href="#" target="_blank">Braingeyser</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #482 Gadwick the Wizened" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pWw9Q3qQdAw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #483 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Torbran, Thane of Red Fell" href="#" target="_blank">Torbran, Thane of Red Fell</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>I'll admit, Torbran has me excited for mono-red. It's gonna be real hard not to put one in every red deck, ever.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #483 Torbran, Thane of Red Fell" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OuIhNeZUbp8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #484 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Questing Beast" href="#" target="_blank">Questing Beast</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>Did you almost forget this thing is legendary? I sure did. Why isn't it at least called 'THE' Questing Beast?</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #484 Questing Beast" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/edOrnnaZCF8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #485 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Syr Gwen, Hero of Ashvale" href="#" target="_blank">Syr Gwen, Hero of Ashvale</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>Ah, the first of the Brawl-manders! Meet the Knight who loves Equipment!</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #485 Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vWXwGEZZSb0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #486 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Linden, the Steadfast Queen" href="#" target="_blank">Linden, the Steadfast Queen</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>I know. It's... not great. But I swore to build all the commanders, dang it, so we're doing this!</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #486 Linden, the Steadfast Queen" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EuZJrJqggnI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #487 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ayara, First of Locthwain" href="#" target="_blank">Ayara, First of Locthwain</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>No pain, no gain. Or rather, lots of pain, and lots of drain, and lots of gain in Locthwain.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #487 Ayara, First of Locthwain" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dGit5UbWurc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>

<h2>Deck #488 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Syr Carah, the Bold" href="#" target="_blank">Syr Carah, the Bold</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Outpost Siege" href="#" target="_blank">Outpost Siege</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> on a commander? I'm listening.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #488 Syr Carah, the Bold" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fVEvRTwC8WA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #489 - Syr Alin, the Lions Claw</h2>
<p>What you would expect from an uncommon legend. Let's see if we can make it work.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #489 Syr Alin, the Lion&#039;s Claw" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y-LnnjH7Duk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #490 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Korvold, Fae Cursed King" href="#" target="_blank">Korvold, Fae Cursed King</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #490 Korvold, Fae Cursed King" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UCFaf_WoLF8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #491 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chulane, Teller of Tales" href="#" target="_blank">Chulane, Teller of Tales</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>We were all pretty scared by how busted this commander could be, and with good reason. By the way, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Aluren" href="#" target="_blank">Aluren</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is one amazing card.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #491 Chulane, Teller of Tales" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GWaKuZFHEzw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #492 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Alela, Artful Provocateur" href="#" target="_blank">Alela, Artful Provocateur</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>Three-color "flying tribal"? Seems decent.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #492 Alela, Artful Provocateur" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wAtYZhxihXM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #497 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Emry, Lurker of the Loch" href="#" target="_blank">Emry, Lurker of the Loch</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>You know, I was just wishing the other day for a way to recur <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Nevinyrral&#039;s Disk" href="#" target="_blank">Nevinyrral&#039;s Disk</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>(PS: Don't mind the number jumps; I built a few non-Eldraine commanders in between some of these.)</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #497 Emry, Lurker of the Loch" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BVp0YuLh2Mc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #503 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig" href="#" target="_blank">Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>I love how Yorvo interprets token creatures as permanent buffs. What exactly is he doing with those Saprolings?</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #503 Yorvo, Lord of Garenbrig" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_33rISlZ86k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #504 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Syr Elenora, the Discerning" href="#" target="_blank">Syr Elenora, the Discerning</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>Mono-blue card draw seems pretty good, especially when it allows you to one-shot players out of the game.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #504 Syr Elenora, the discerning" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7Jlbl7DBf6Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<hr />
<h2>Deck #505 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kenrith, the Returned King" href="#" target="_blank">Kenrith, the Returned King</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></h2>
<p>There are so many fun ways to build Kenrith. I personally wanted to play with a lot of five-color cards, because we don't get many chances to rock that <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fist of Suns" href="#" target="_blank">Fist of Suns</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #505 Kenrith, the Returned King" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_kCVAnQAujo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>

<h2>Bonus Time!</h2>
<p>19 new legendary creatures is a lot for a Standard-legal set, or any set, for that matter. It's more than most dedicated Commander sets! These were a ton of fun to build and play. I love the storybook elements and just the overall flavor. I'm certainly looking forward to all of the Commander goodness happening in 2020.</p>
<p>In celebration of reaching 500 decks, I want to share with you all the video for deck #500. I know it's not from Eldraine... in fact, it's quite a bit older than that... but as this is a landmark event, Ithought you might want to see it.</p>
<p>I present Deck #500 - <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Angus Mackenzie" href="#" target="_blank">Angus Mackenzie</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>!</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Deck #500 Angus Mackenzie" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5xESP6faukQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>

<p>Thank you all for reading, watching, and most importantly, playing this amazing format.</p>
<p>Here's to 500 more!</p>
